Dexter Lip Art

If I could. I'd be Hallowe'en all year round. In the past I have collaborated on gory shoots in February and painted my face like Wicked inspired drag queen and now here I am 6 weeks before Hallowe'en making lip art out of blood spatter. Inspired by Dexter and glam/gore artist Mykie. 

Dexter lip art.

Products & Method:

1. Line your lips with a white pencil like Sleek eau la la pencil in White Noise
2. Use a white base such as Illamasqua skin base SB01 to fill in the entire lip.
3. Set the white base with MAC prep & prime translucent powder as this will help with longevity and reduce the risk of mixing the red and white products too much.
4. Take an opaque red gloss or preferably a liquid lipstick such as Sleek pout paint in Pin Up on a deatiler brush and pat on the product. Avoid using a brushing motion as this will smear the products turing he lips pink. Go from corner to corner and top to bottom leaving gaps and making small dots in order to look like blood spatter. Think of it as a blood-soaked ombré lip.
5. To make the drips, use Kryolan eye blood on top of the dots. When mixed with the pout paint, the oils separate making it perfect to create drips and making the blood spatter look more realistic.

Speaking of Dexter, who used to hit pause on the screen in the opening credits?
